for the 41st


Beaulieu


Boatjumble


Bargains galore plus your chance


to quiz industry professionals at


PBO’s Ask the Experts LIVE!


Tickets include entry to all the Beaulieu
attraction, including the National Motor
Museum, World of Top Gear, On Screen
Cars, the 13th century Beaulieu Abbey, the
ancestral Montagu home of Palace House
and its stunning grounds and gardens.
Beaulieu is also dog-friendly, so bring
your seadog! Pets must be kept on leads
and cannot be taken inside buildings or
on any of the rides, but as all of the
Boatjumble event takes place outdoors,
this should not cause a problem.

Experts LIVE!
PBO has been Beaulieu Boatjumble’s
media sponsor for more than a decade
and our popular Experts LIVE! event
brings to life our Ask the Experts
magazine page by offering free practical
talks and demonstrations, plus the chance

out of your handheld VHF radio, to sailing
via voice-activated controls.
PBO editor Rob Melotti said: “It’s a
fantastic line-up and we’re very grateful to
the professionals involved for giving up their
time to join us and share their expertise.
“I was really impressed by Digital Yacht’s
voice-activated nav demo at the London
Boat Show, so we’re delighted they can
join us at Beaulieu, and I’m looking
forward to learning from Kass Schmidt’s
adventures in a particularly gruelling
OSTAR race, as well as welcoming back
some of our regular expert presenters.
“Experts LIVE! is always a popular event,
and the Boatjumble itself has to be seen
to believed.”
The annual Boatjumble, which regularly
attracts more than 7,000 visitors, offers free
entry to children aged 12 and under.
